Starting PVS via the “RC” script will also lint the pvs.conf script for syntax errors
before starting. If errors are detected, PVS will direct you to address the errors
and will not start.
Post Installation
Once installed, the original RPM file or unpacked files are not needed and may be deleted if
desired.
If multiple Ethernet devices should be monitored, simply edit the pvs.conf file located in
/opt/pvs/etc and add multiple lines which contain “interface” keywords and the specified
Ethernet devices. For example, a pvs.conf file edited to support multiple Ethernet devices
on Linux may include a section like this:
# which interface are we listening on ?
interface "eth0";
interface "eth1";
interface "eth2";
File Locations
The PVS installs its files into the following locations:
Configuration files for PVS and the PVS Proxy
Location of the PVS and PVS Proxy executables, plus several
helper tools for the PVS Proxy daemon
Plugins, discovered vulnerabilities, log files, keys, software
license agreement and other miscellaneous items
The software license agreement for PVS is located in PDF format in the directory
/opt/pvs/var/pvs. It is also available online at:
